Abstract A 17 year old Iranian girl presented with thalassemia major, complicated by acute compression of the cauda equina caused by extramedullary haemopoiesis. The advantages of MRI in confirming the spinal space-occupying lesion and involvement of liver and pancreas are discussed in the context of treatment decision analysis and follow-up.
